It is very possible that people will catch the bird flu virus.
This is a reiteration of how much of a public health threat bird flu really is. Sometimes it takes a human case or a suspected human case to raise the alarm, to remind us that no country, whether China or anywhere else, can afford to be complacent.
They're going to try to talk to the people affected.
They'll probably seek to meet the patients or their families.
I don't think the ministry is trying to conceal the cases, ... The cases occurred in a remote and isolated area, and the symptoms might be similar to many other diseases, so it's not easy to determine the reasons.
It certainly is a significant outbreak. It seems that they are extremely concerned about it.
This is a way to drive home to all the people in China how dangerous bird flu is. We are certainly very encouraged that they are raising the alarm.
It's not a surprise. It shows that China like other countries that have bird flu in poultry can have human cases.
Because the formal investigative process is still under way, we are not issuing a formal conclusion right now, we are just saying that it is very probably that it will be declared as such.
